TAKES A HIGH PLACE,
Stands well in the Est mation of the
People.
Attention is Naturally Excited When
Anything is Praised by People
Whom We Know.
A thing that stands high in the estima
tion of the public, and which is especial
ly recommended by Butler people, nat
urally excites our attention more than if
our own did not praise the arti
cle. Such a thing is on
here in this city everyday, people are
praising Morrow's Kid-ne-oids because
they cure. There is no deception, no
humbug, they do positively cure, and \ve
furnish the evidence.
Mr. J. T. Friend 123 West Fulton St.,
says:-" I have been suffering with symp
toms of kidney disorders for the past ten
years. It commenced wi'.'.t a dull heavy
pain in the small of my back which
would l>e attended by a sharp shooting
pain in the region ot the kidneys extend
ing up the spine and right side. Later
my nerves l>ecame afT cted so I could
not rest or sleep. The discharge of the
secretions from the kidneys were colored
and irregular. Morrow's Kid-ne-oids
were recommended to relieve me, so I
secured and t< ok them according
to dii ct ; ons. Since taking them the
pain has stopped and I can better
and sleep gives me rest. Ihe secretions
have assumed a natural color and are
regular and free."
Morrow's Kid-ne-oids are net pills,
but Yellow Tablets and sell at fifty cents
a box at all drug stores and at Uedick &
Grohman's drug store.

[Copyright. IM. by the Au- hor ]
A flare of yellow lii»lit from tin
torches l:_ht -d the con. sl>ed:i There
were two h rijj fheds. each covering its
mountain of t<r. e:j corn < :trs. at
the of which the bnay hoaken
workt d A surf of shucks w„ : , thrown
up behind the buskers faster than con
stantly moving carts conld sweep it
nway. The canning factory was mak
ing a night run. It glowed with lights,
like ii hu>?e steauier. The -niokestack
towered again.'-t a moon whitened s::y.
machinery clanked and voic. - shouted
across its roar, and the bathroom vapor
turned one entire side of the building
to mist.
All the hnskers were un.-kiliful poor
people of the town, old men and wom
en, boys and girls and widows with
dirty breeds playing or drowsing among
the sweet cornhnsks and taking their
chances among hoofs and cart wheels.
One widow in particular had more
than her share, for l* -ides four skinny,
dark limbed children bearing her cast of
features f lte had nested down by her
measuring box a pink and white plninp
little girl, 4 years old and golden haired,
wtio held between the thnmb and two
fingers of her right band a stunted red
ear of corn. The torch flame flared and
smoked above her head, showing how
WBapped she was in her own play and
bow unconscious of the human and iron
noises smiting the night all around her.
Her cheeks and chin were curved with
dimpling smiles, and her cnrls and
short nose were tipped and defined by
glints of light as .she focused her atten
tion upon the ear of com and talked to
imaginary creatures.
"(rood evening, Mrs. Seventeen; it is
a very fine day. I brought my baby
along because it isn't very well. The
lightning rod struck my baby, and I
was so scared I didn't know what to
do. So I took her to the docfor, and he
said. 'Give her some me'sson.' I gave
her some me'sson and she never made a
face, because she was trained to a sys
timony."
"What on earth is that youngster
talking about?" inquired a cart driver,
as he forked up husks beside the widow.
"She's talking to her talk stick," re
plied that hurried automaton, never
pausing an instant from stripping green
ears. "She'll take something in her
hands that way and play and talk for
hours and never trouble nobody. It's a
good thing she does, for if she was
pestering at my heels I don't know how
I could keep her. "
"Isn't she yonr'n, then?"
"No; she's a child that was brought
along here a spell back. Seems like she
was with her grandmother, and her
grandmother died sudden 011 the train.
My son's a brakeman, and 1* fetched
the little girl to'r bouse till lier folks'd
have time to send. But she ain't been
sent for. and it discourages a Ixsly when
they have such a hard time to get
along.'"
"Didn't .anybody know her grand
mother':' continued the cart driver,
forking steadily,
" 'Pears not," said the wido%v. mak
ing the husks fly. They both had to
pitch their voices by the key of the ma
r-loner v. "Hl "L me
county's expense. Some says if they's
me they'd take the child to the super
visor. but 1 ain't done it yet."
The widow grasped her full box and
tugged it to a side door of the factory,
where the marker stood on his platform.
The box was emptied in a flash and
tossed back to her, she held up her hand
to the marker, and he credited her with
another bushel.
The cart driver was gone with his
load when she resumed husking, and
her peach faced foster child was smiling
on in conversation with the talk stick.
"I 'joyed the noise anil I 'joyed the
shine. It was the Fourth of Jnly, and
the y sent up rockets in the night, and
they were lovely fireworks when they
bloomed. Next Fourth of July I'm go
ing to April fool somebody, because it
is a happy thing."
As the little girl talktnl she chuckled
aloud and perked her head with bird
like turns, quivering as if with the joy
ful quality of lier own nature.
"All of 'em ought to be at homo and
asleep instead of tagging around me
here," grumbled lier protector. "Ain't
you sleepy yet?"
The little girl shook her head and re
plied. "I'm comf't'lo," turning imme
diately back to her talk stick.
Presently the cart driver was forking
beside them again, and ho resumed
with interest, nodding bis head toward
the talk stick's holder:
"What's her name?"
"Minty Cuan, '' said the widow.
"Couldn't she tell anything about
her folks?"
"Why, yes; she could tell something,
bnt it's all a jumble. Sometimes I
think the woman that died wasn't her
grandmother, and other times I don't
know what to think. Maybe her folks'll
turn up and maybe they won't. It'll
be my luck for them not to." said the
widow despondently.
"See here, now," said the cart driver,
indicating that he wanted her atten
tion an instant. "Yon know my wife
und me. S'posen you let me take the
little girl home and keep her with us a
spell. She's a pretty little thing "
"Yes: she's pretty enough," said the
widow. "And I hain't nothing against
her in the world; only it's hand to
mouth for to get something for my
own. "
"Yes, I know that. Ami it stands to
reason that them that are better fixed
ought to help yon do for her. This is
my last load for tonight, and when I've
dumped it I'll come around and get
her.''
"I kind of hale to let her go when it
comes to the yiuch. And that's another
thing I've dreaded," said the widow.
"Vuu can see her often as you want
to. Will you go with ine. Minty
"He'll give you lots of good luilk to
4rink at his house, I'll be bound,' sug
gested the widow, shredding silks away
from the glistening white grain.
"Yes, we've got cows on our farm,
and we've got pretty little calves," said
the driver.
"I'll go along with her," volunteered
the widow's Arablike second son, ad
vancing his leas little faco up the
man's knee.
"You're going along home to bed,"
decreed Iris mother. "That's where
you're £<> ing. (iit the other children in
a hunch together, and then you put out
with them."
The cart driver jogged along the
prairie road with Minty Hitting beside
him. Ho had folded his coat to cushion
her backless seat, and l>e protected her
with his left arm. The moonlight glint
ed upon hedgerow leaves which hail the
rich dark green of holly and showed
great brick homesteads here and th«ire
on billows of the rolling land. Behind
them steadily receded the town and the
canning facWfy's booming, and spurts
of dampened diist flew from the horse's
hoofs an he jerked the cart along.
Minty held the shriveled ear of red
corn in her hand, and feeling exhila
rated by the motion she poised it betwixt
her fac e and the prairie horizon.
" 'Mrs. Seventeen went to ride in her
carriage, with whlt-o shine to polish it.' "
•'Who's Mri* Svventi -n?" inquired
the driver.
Minty l. oktd down, disturbed as a
hnjurniii_' feird would be 11 someone in
terfered with its boring a rose.
"<>h. - he's Mr.s. i~ venteen that I talk
to with my talk stick."
"Cai.'t yon talk withont a talk
stick?"
"I can't Lave a nice play," explained
Minty. "or talk to Mrs. Seventeen."
"Well, out to my house," said the
cart driver, "you can have iiosies for
talk sticks. And 1 11 take yoti down to
the pippin tree lirstf; thing in the morn
ing and ;<ive you xuore apples than yon
can eat. "
Bnt he never did. His horse's 3<>g
was brokfn by a sudden fright. Now
they were plnnping by the sido of the
road and now th*f were being hurled
along a rough truck leading to the tim
ber. The cart driver had thrown Minty
between his knees, and he leaned back
dragging the lines with all his might.
Out of the light prairie and under the
dark branches they went, down through
a creek with a mighty splash, then up
over a stump which sent the cart driver
ont on his head. He struck a log and
lay there until next day, when his anx
ious wife found him and took him home
to be nursed until his broken bonea
were knit. His lamed horse and the
principal pieces of his cart were duly
returned to hiin. Bnt he never saw
Minty again, and was distressed about
her before her story sifted back through
time and space to him, as stories still
do in this world if yon can bnt wait for
them.
Minty found herself sitting in the
bed of the cart in the dark sweet smell
ing woods. The Itouncing wheels and
the horse were gone, like a buzzing out
of her bead. She (lid not feel hurt, but
cried a few moments with terror. On
second thought she felt like cuddling
down and being still, for a twig cracked
here and there, and the darkness seemed
to breathe directly in her ears.
The next thing she knew it was broad
morning, moist and sunny, and the
whole woods rang with bird songs.
Minty stood up in the cart, and the
talk stick tumbled from her lap, shat
tering gome of its grains on the floor.
She nibbled at some tender kernels on
the cob aud held the talk stick off,
earnestly declaiming like some diminu
tive orator in a bumble pulpit.
"Oh, Mrs. Seventeen was so hungry
she didn't know what to do! 'What
makes you cry soV said the man. 'Be
cause,' said Mrs. Seventeen, 'I feel so
sad where my dinner ought to be.' "
Now it happened that a boy was
coming along the road directly toward
Mintv's cart, and being a silent l>oy he
ran almost a&ainst it without noise of
shouting or singing and recoiled, bulg
ing his big shy eyes at her. He was
barelegged, having his trousers rolled
" IV'/i y, Minty!"
np to the very hem of his calico apron.
A dun colored wool hat covered the
back of his head, and he swung a tin
pail in his warty fist.
Minty ceased her murmur to the talk
stick and inquired with candid direct
ness :
"Have yon got something good to eat
in there?"
The boy instead of opening his pail
for reply opened his mouth and stared.
"Where yon going?" pursued Minty.
• 'To school.'' replied the boy. "Where
you going?"
"I'm going with you," decided Min
ty. "Do you want me to go?"
"I don't care," said the boy. 'A'ou
may go along in place of my dog. lie
cripples so I wouldn't bring him. He'll
rnn along a little piece and then he'll
limp just to aggravate me "
"I don't limp," said Minty, scram
bling ont of /he c;u-t bed and hastening
to show her superiority to the dog.
"Bnt yon cau't walk as fast as I
can," claimed the boy, making rapid
too marki in the dust.
"Then yon ought to wait for me. If
you'll give me something out of your
pail, I'll let you have my talk stick."
"Talk stick I" sneered the lioy.
"That's an old red nubbin. I got plenty
of them to home."
"I'm so hungry," said Minty plain
tively. And as they patted al.<ng in
company she lifted the talk stick and
comforted herself once more with it.
"Apples, and good toast, and candy,
ami bread and bntter, and beaux and
strawbays. And the little girl's papa
and mamma said, 'Mrs. Seventeen,
have you been to dinner ?' 'No, indeed,'
said Mrs. Seventeen, 'I have not any
such kind.' "
The boy cautiously lifted his pail
cover and revealed his lunch delicious
white bread, cookies and pie and apples.
Minty regarded it coaxingly.
"I wish I had a little piece," said
she. "An apple and some cake and
bread."
"Hut what'd I have for afternoon re
cess V" demanded the lioy.
"Yon get dome more," the stray
child argued. "Hnt I never can get
any more."
"I'd give you a cooky," relented the
boy, growing more ashamed of her com
pany the longer he enjoyed it, "if you
wouldn't tag me clear to school. I don't
want thn.Aboys laughing at me. You
ought to run home to your mother. The
teacher wou't let you come to school
nohow because you're too little."
Minty's face put on drooping curves,
and her short nose expressed much for
lornn»*ss.
"How old are you V"
"I guess I'm 40 years old," she re
plied. "1 wo* tag you if you give me
a cooky."
Hut the boy withdrew his hand sud
denly from the pail and said:
"There comes Mary Jane."
"What Mary Jane V" inquired Minty
It was indeed Mary Jane. There can
lie but few Mary Janes lik*- her. Self
satisfied and high in manner she spurn
cd the gronnd in shoes which werelacd
up the front with leather thongs. Sepa
rated from the shoes by a mere strip of
white cotton stocking were lengthy
knickerbocker pantalets deep with
scarlet edging. Mary Jane's dress was
a figured lawn as to waist and sleeves
and a scant white muslin as to skirt It
was belted tightly around the top of
her stomach, and below it appeared a
span of straightened skirt, also deep
with scarlet edging. She was further
adorned by a string of Is ails and a tiny
tucked cap which scar«ely covered her
cropped hair
Mary .lane turned her sun tinsh<sl
pretty face ujxin Minty in disapproval.
The Ih>v. with whom she had 1< ng be- u
at sil<nt feud, felt "till more ashamed
of Minty. Having the road between
Mary Jane and himself, he could as of-
tie y m- t 1 fudge M-h...ilward
with her, exchanging occasional Miiffs
and curls of the lip and suffer no loss
in bis own dignity. But to have the
dirty stray tack< d ujion him by Mary
Jain 's passing eye was more than he
could endure.
"Say. yon take this young one along
with yon, he commanded, making a
threatening motion ot the head, and
Minty was quite ready to bestow her
melting smile on this acquaintance,
though nothing edible was hung aU-nt
the ]>erson »f Mary Jane. Whether she
had bread and sugar sticking together
in her jiocket <>r was to return home for
her dinner Minty instinctively knew
the boy was still Iter lw*st friend.
Mary Jane did not deign to give
the boy a reply, bnt ,«p<>ke ont vain
gloriously to Minty:
"I'm dressed up, and yon ain't.'*
"I haven't had some nice clothes on
for a long time," admitted Minty after
surveying the favored being who con
descended to jmiss within three yards of
her.
She raised the talk stick and held it
out to conjure comfort even from th<-se
circumstances.
"I'm dressed up," said Mary Jane as
she stepped <>nt to promanation. "I
like this cap. I like to wear it at school.
It prortds me. I feel like I was a king's
wiferd. Yon are not dres.-.sl up. Mrs
Seventeen, and yon look so ngly it
tirerls me."
"'But.' says Mrs. Seventeen, 'my
legs are drenched with heavenly dew
and the song birds take me up to look
at the sky. I couldn't tell about the
man the lightning rod struck, and it
split him from top to bottom. "I'll
escnse yon," said the man. ami there
was a pumpie on his nose because he
kneeled his bead so hard when he had
table prayers.' "
The boy and Mary Jane, walking one
on each side of Minty. eyed her in si
lent amazement, while unbiased by
any audience she mnrmnred her rap
tures and bnilt up her visions at the top
of the talk ptick.
" 'Von ate so much good food yon
made fat to yon,' said Mrs. Seventeen,
'but don't sit tin my prayer. I said my
prayer on that chair, and if yon sit 011
it yon will break it.' "
"Today's Friday," put forth Mary
Jane, vaguely affronted, "and we speak
pieces."
"And tomorrow's Sadderday." the
boy jerked from hhnself in the act of
skipping a stone. "They onght to call
it Gladderday, though, 'cause there
ain't 110 school."
"I know my piece all by heart." said
Mary Jane.
"Bet you don't," challenged her foe.
She cast a look of sujieriority upon
him and silenced him by letting it all
out at him withont panse or intonation
as she walked rapidly ahead, her voice
growing dimmer until the words rjuite
faded and failed

had now culminated "Are yon going to

"Then I won't," promised Minty
eagerly.

"I won't," pledged Minty earnestly.
"I don't care anything more al*mt you

So she began to eat, and the tioy took
to his heels.

mouth full.

sky. Hhe fed some crntulm to ants build

"Yon must not follow roe. If yon

Tingle, tingle, in the rails b»-side her
still went the thrilling music.
